Claim 1: “his current ERA (3.90) would be his worst over a full season since 2020.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim compares Peralta's current ERA (3.90) to his worst full-season ERA since 2020. While the web search results mention 2026 stats, none of the provided evidence sources contain the specific comparison data (3.90 ERA vs. pre-2020 worst) to verify this claim across multiple sources.
